Now, with his former life ruined and his kidnappers seeming comparatively friendly, "Rock" decides to join their merry band of mercenaries, and sets out with a new career to the shadier corners of the South China Sea.

These two series are very similar; in fact, both of them feature female double-gun-wielding heroines as part of a mercenary squad. The story starts with a regular guy joining the respective squads, and further accomplishing missions. Except from the fact that Burst Angel features mecha and Black Lagoon does not, these anime have similar structure and feeling, and if you liked one, you're bound to like the other.

Burst Angel and Black Lagoon both feature two women who love nothing more than to shoot things. If you like Burst Angel, you will love the more complex and entertaining story of Black Lagoon; in it, the main characters aren't good guys but they aren't bad either. The characters are original and thrilling and will convince you to stay out of back alleys. Revy is the quintessential female shooter with her no-nonsense attitude and two-sword cutlass.

If you liked Burst Angel I you will probably like Black Lagoon too since both series contain very much action. Whilst Black Lagoon is a bit more serious than Burst Angel it still has the feeling of a kickass girl going on a rampage.

Both contain gun slinger girls who can out shoot any other person on the show. Both gunslingers get a look in their eyes that tells you they mean business and will show no mercy for those that stand in their way

loved the serie by the simple fact that the main character is a kick ass, trashy mouth, moody girl that can double shot everything? Then it's a must watch. Both series have these super agressive girls with a "I'm going to kill you" stare. Things are so feisty on those series that I bet something's exploding as you are reading this rec...

If you enjoyed Burst Angel! or Black Lagoon then you will definitely like the other. Both shows feature mercenaries being hired by certain clients to do all sorts of jobs, both shows feature female leads wielding two guns and great gun skills, both shows deal with underworld affairs. Both stories also start in a similar way having a normal male protagonist joining the team. The difference is that Burst Angel features mecha battles and a sci-fi aspect while Black Lagoon doesn't. Burst Angel also has a shoujo-ai sub-plot aspect as well so if you liked one you will definitely enjoy the other.

Both anime are similar in the way that they both involve heroines who dual wield pistols as their weapon of choice and belong to mercenary groups. They both also have lots of great and intense action scenes.

Gonzo does it again with this action-packed mecha comedy. She's an ordinary high school girl. He's a counterterror agent assigned to protect her from those who would steal the information locked in her mind. OK, so she's not so normal after all. Armored Slave battles and lovers' spats abound as Sousuke and his comrades try to track down the mysterious Gauln before it's too late.

I really enjoy a show with a good storyline, plenty of action and some likeable characters. Both FMP and Burst Angel feature these in aplenty. Not usually being a mech fan, I found myself engrossed in giant robots battling away, as this is not the main focus of either series.

If you enjoy all of the features listed above, I really recommend the above shows as something a little more interesting than most.

Lots of comedy? Cool mecha action sequences? Mercenaries and secret organizations dealing with conspiracies and various underworld affairs? You will definitely find these aspect in both FMP and Burst Angel! If you liked one of them then you will enjoy the other one as well.

Let's see what Canaan and Burst Angel have in common: A stoic lead who talks with her pistols? Check. A cute, but incompetent sidekick? Check. Bio-engineered horrors? Check.

Behind all of the mecha fighting and pseudo-science, Burst Angel tells the story of a talented girl trying to find her place in the world. Canaan's plot shares these same core elements, but sports a more current story of political intrigue and an engaging supporting cast.

If you liked Burst Angel, but got a little sad every time Jo boarded Django, you're gonna like Canaan.

Except for being 11 episodes shorter Canaan and Burst Angel have a striking resemblance, both the protagonists and storyline.

Both Jo and Canaan share many features, their white hair, calm mind, cool attitude and they both got a precious person which they would sacrifice everything to protect, Even the light shojo-ai is there.

I'm sure that if you like kick ass girls with guns you would like both of these awesome anime's.

Jo and Meg from Burst Angel have a lot in common with Canaan and Maria from Canaan. Both anime feature fast-paced gunslinger action from their respective stoic protaganists Jo and Canaan. The action is done really well in both anime with lots of gunfighting eye-candy. Meg and Maria also seem to be magnets for getting themselves in dangerous situations and needing to be rescued by Jo or Canaan.

The underlying stories in both anime are the deep relationships between these main characters and the lengths they'll go to for their friendships. If you like anime about awesome female gunslingers that fight for the people they care about than you'll enjoy Burst Angel and Canaan.

Although they come from different genre, Cowboy Bebop and Bakuretsu Tenshi have quite alot in common. A team of the seemingly most different personalities working together as best they can. Hired guns out to make money, and maybe do a little good. A hero(ine) that blurs the line between right and wrong, between working for the law, and breaking it. And a little girl who is quite possibly the greatest hacker in the universe. Not to mention the quality combat scenes.

Both are episodical with an underlying story that's developped a bit more every once and then. What struck me as simular is the teams on each anime. A hacker, a bounty hunter, one who always gets caught and the fatherly/motherly figure. It just feels alike.

Burst Angel and Cowboy Bebop are about mercenaries and have characters that just plain kick butt. While watching Burst Angel, I thought to myself, "this must be what Cowboy Bebop would be like if they were all girls." They are enjoyable shows for any fans of non-stop action.

Although the underlying plot of Daphne in the Brilliant Blue is not nearly as heavy as that of Burst Angel, the overall "feel" of the two anime is roughly similar. Burst Angel never really makes up its mind whether it it wants to take itself seriously or just be a light fanservicy romp, whereas Daphne in the BrilliantBlue gives the viewer very little beyond fanservice. All the same, the two anime have a lot in common -- beyond the stereotypical "girls with guns" theme. If you like the one, you'll surely like the other.
